Air knife systems
How is the air knife system used? Paxton air knife systems are a precision-engineered linear slot to direct and utilise high velocity air from a centrifugal blower to:
- Dry and remove liquid films from surfaces
- Control surface coating
- Blow off dust and debris
- Convey, hold down or cushion materials with air
- Cool/heat materials
- Provide air curtain/barrier
- Neutralise static charges
Paxton air knives are powered by a perfectly matched, energy-efficient Paxton Centrifugal Blower, and operate effectively at conveyor line speeds in excess of 10 meters per second.
